Palworld: Using RCON (Remote Console)
**RCON** allows you to manage your Palworld server without launching the game. You can kick players, broadcast messages, and force-save the world from your web browser or a third-party desktop app.
1. The Port Math
By default, the RCON port is your **Game Port + 3**.
Example: If IP is 192.168.1.1:8211, your RCON port is 8214. (Note: On Supercraft, check your "Network" tab to confirm explicitly).
2. The Admin Password
RCON requires the **AdminPassword** string from your PalWorldSettings.ini. If this is empty, RCON will not work.
3. Tools to Use
We recommend PalWorld RCON GUI or simply using the **Console** tab in your Supercraft control panel.
How to Connect
- Download an RCON client (or use PalworldRCON.network for a web-based test).
- Hostname: Your server IP (e.g.,
51.100.200.10). - Port: Your RCON Port (e.g.,
8214, NOT 8211). - Password: Your Admin Password.
- Click **Connect**.
Essential RCON Commands
Once connected, you can type these directly into the console:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
Save | Forces the server to save the world state to disk immediately. **ALWAYS** run this before shutting down. |
Shutdown {Seconds} {Message} | Gracefully closes the server with a warning to players. Example: Shutdown 60 Server_Restarting_for_Update |
Broadcast {Message} | Sends a golden text announcement to the center of every player's screen. Example: Broadcast Welcome_to_Supercraft! (Note: Spaces must currently be underscores in some versions). |
ShowPlayers | Lists the SteamID, PlayerUID, and Name of all connected users. Essential for banning. |
KickPlayer {SteamID} | Kicks a player. You need their SteamID/UID from the ShowPlayers command. |
BanPlayer {SteamID} | Permanently bans the player. |
Troubleshooting: If RCON refuses to connect, make sure RCONEnabled=True is set in your PalWorldSettings.ini. On Supercraft servers, this is enabled by default.
Command from anywhere. Host your Palworld server with Supercraft and access your console directly from your phone via our mobile-optimized control panel.
